It’s time for a weekly check-in!
It’s been a good week here! Sunday, we took Isaac to a theme park and he had so much fun, we splurged on season passes – we’re actually planning to go back already today! I had to do a lot of recuperating from Sunday since we spent the entire day there, but it was worth it. I’m just hoping today doesn’t wear me out as much. 😅 Otherwise, I’ve been working a lot, I applied for a new job (cross your fingers for me, please!), and I’ve been reading a LOT, as you’ll see. 🥳
I love Graphicsathon! 😂 I feel like my check-ins look so much more productive thanks to all of the quick reads (though a few of these were actually long regular novels, too).
- Don’t Kiss the Bride // Carian Cole ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
- The Ruins // Scott Smith ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (re-read)
- Creepy Cat, Vol. 1 // Cotton Valent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- The Handmaid’s Tale: The Graphic Novel // Margaret Atwood & Renee Nault ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation // Anne Frank & Ari Folman ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Monster and the Beast, Vol. 1 // renji ⭐⭐
- Nimona // N.D. Stevenson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (re-read)
- Gory Details: Adventures from the Dark Side of Science // Erika Engelhaupt ⭐⭐⭐
- Northranger // Rey Terciero ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- The Invasion: A Graphic Novel // K.A. Applegate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I decided I wasn’t in the mood for The Fine Print or my Eragon re-read, so I set both of those aside! I keep starting new current reads and prioritizing them over the ones I’ve been working on for a while, so hopefully soon, I’ll finish up my June buddy/group reads and make some time to finish Black Cranes and Fragile Threads.
📚 current reads 📚
- Black Cranes: Tales of Unquiet Women // Lee Murray & Geneve Flynn → 22%

- Dracula Daily // Matthew Kirkland & Bram Stoker → 8%

We finally bought Evil Dead Rise on VOD and watched it, and WOW, I am obsessed! It was everything I hoped it would be and more. 😍
Heads up: you can always friend me on Letterboxd if you wanna see my movie mini reviews!

June 8, 2023Good luck on the job hunt!
I always have 3-5 books going too because I am such a moody reader. It doesn’t work any other way for me. Some days I read chapters from all of them instead of finishing one. Probably not very efficient, lol.

June 9, 2023Wow, you did read a lot this week. This feels like the perfect time of year to reread The Ruins, too😁 Maybe I should track down my copy? Good luck with the job hunt!

June 12, 2023Crossing my fingers for the new job!! You have read a lot!! Awesome and I’m so jealous about Schwab! I am going to pre-order it because my Netgalley request has been ignored for months. hahaha!
